This is a very busy place. Should you desire lobster, you can see them - live- ahead of time. They do eat in, and from what I observed, a very hefty take out business as well. I had scallop dinner to go. Mucho scallops & fries. Wasn't crazy about the cole slaw, but it wasn't a show stopper. Best to call ahead if you do take out. The setting is indoor & outdoor with all the usual Maine stuff on the interior walls. Ambience is very family friendly. Kids love looking at the creatures in their holding tanks. Lobster sold by weight, which they do right in front of you. You can by fish there, which you take home and cook yourself- saw local folks doing just that. Worth going, worth revisiting. read more

We wanted to pick up some fresh shrimp here and were also hungry. We ordered everything and dined inside. My sister indicated that this place has been thoroughly redone after the crazy storm a couple years back. They did a good job with their space. I ordered chicken strips and they were horrible. They were dry and the coating was applied improperly. Sort of like straight flour on naken chicken and then fried. I was picking strands of chicken out of my teeth for hours!! The fries were nothing special either. Disappointed because this place was SO crowded. Apparently they are known for the other food they offer, which makes sense. My family seemed fine with their orders. We picked up our "fresh" (actually frozen) shrimp and had a great dinner later. I wouldn't go here again, but then again I am not a fan of fish and seafood. If they had a burger option I might try it next time my family goes here. read more

Wells Beach Lobster Pound - Chicken Strips and Fries - Seafood Near Me - Wells, Maine

Laughably bad. Stay far, far away and seek seafood anywhere else. The chowder was thick and gloopy, barely room temperature. Definitely not made in house. The half pint of "scallops" were all PIECES and adductor muscle. Complete scam. No lemons or coleslaw and the tartar sauce comes pre-made. Fish sandwich was fine. read more

Being from California, was expecting to be wowed by the seafood in Maine. We ordered the lobster roll, fried clam strips and fried calamari with some clam chowder. The clam chowder was delicious, the calamari and fried clam strips were not like anything we have ever had anywhere! We did not enjoy the clam strips or calamari. Service was good, but for the price I expected the food to taste better. read more

I was super impressed by this place. They have any seafood you want and the prices are great compared to a lot of other places. We got the twin lobsters and they were cooked perfectly. I got the lobster roll and it had so much lobster stuffed in it. The steamers were also clean and great! All the seafood coming out of the kitchen looked so good. I want to go back and try more. You order at the front and then they bring it to you. Not many spots inside but they do have some outside seating as well. Great spot! read more

We had supper (chicken and onion rings and fries) and it was just right after a long day at the beach. Big portions, draft Coors, and salted caramel ice cream to finish. More importantly, coffee and muffins the next morning and the most helpful, kind, friendly staff around. read more

Great fried clams. Nice people family? All fried seafood is fresh. Hope they have air conditioner on!

We came here for some convenient lobster meat for lobster rolls. It's expensive per pound, but the convenience of ready to serve lobster meat in juicy chunks is worth it. A little goes a long way, as it's a pretty light meat. There wasn't much weight, and the staff was very helpful. The fresh lobster made for a delicious lunch. They have a great seafood menu including live lobsters, so there is a lot to offer. read more

Wells Beach Lobster Pound - Fresh lobsters every day - Seafood Near Me - Wells, Maine

We were tipped off to this waterside seafood restaurant by a friend. The lobster pound is across the street from the water. It's very basic- order at a window and the food is brought to your table. There is indoor and outdoor seating. The picnic tables outdoors are lovely. The restaurant is immaculate. The staff were very friendly. The food was off the charts. I visit Maine frequently and am a big seafood fan. The steamers and lobsters were a top 5 experience. The house made potato chips and coleslaw were awesome. The hand made onion rings were very good. The prices were really good for dine in and were an absolute steal for take out. I can't recommend this no frills, lobster in the rough place highly enough. Wish that they didn't use disposable plates and utensils, but that's par for the course. The Well Beach Lobster Pound is the real deal- not to be missed if you're in the area. read more

A must visit locally owned spot to enjoy a great casual lobster meal and beautiful sunset outside at picnic tables or inside where it's a bit less chilly. My lobster was fresh and tender, service was prompt, my husband loved the haddock bites. The only thing that would be better is homemade tartar sauce with dill (instead of Ken's) and Old Bay Seasoning for the fries. It was also surprisingly clean for being run by teenage boys yet very busy! My 91 yr old mom was grateful for the handicapped access ramp they have as well! read more

We are at Wells for a week long vacation at Airbnb on beach. We ordered take out for 10 cooked lobsters and clam chowder. I called asking about pickup the day before. It was by far the best experience, service, lobster and chowder we have had in a very long time. The dinner was perfect eating outside making memories and the staff was super at pickup. The lobsters were cooked perfectly and one of the top 5 clam chowders I have ever had growing up in New England. Highly recommend. 5 stars to the Wells Beach Lobster Pound truly top notch all away around. read more

This is an authentic Maine lobster dinner experience. It's not as popular as some other places so it's less crowded. I got a pound of steamers and a 2.25 pound lobster dinner experience. They have outdoor seaside picnic tables with awesome views. read more

Went in yesterday for lunch. Got the haddock piece basket; very good. Can't wait to go back. Service was fast and it's a "take out" kinda place but that was fine. Sitting at picnic table overlooking ocean is best ambience I can think of. read more

Great place to get lobster, lobster rolls, steamers and more. While it has changed over the years, this is still a good place to get great Maine seafood. I was told by some folks that Hannaford's supermarket has better prices on steamers, but it's nice to sit outside and look at the ocean. There is also some inside seating if the weather isn't good. Ambiance is pretty basic, but functional, as this is not a place where you dine for hours. We got ours togo once and once we ate in. We got steamers here twice that were great, as was the lobster roll. I did not care for the clam chowder, but I am picky. It is fine, but tastes like the generic Sysco kind of chowder. If you go to Barnacle Billy's at Perkins cover and try their clam chowder, you will see and taste the difference. Service was friendly and we only had to wait a little while, as there was a large party in front of us who all ordered steamers so we had to wait for those. Overall a solid choice and a classic place to stop in the Wells area. read more

The view is amazing while you wait and you can eat indoors or outside, I wish this family 100 yrs of success. Their kindness and friendly attitude adds to the amazing food. read more

Lobster Pound is the best restaurant that I have ever been to. It is in the heart of Wells Maine, and serves the best seafood that I have ever had. It serves seafood, regular food such as burgers, fries, chicken nuggets, sometimes hotdogs, and other things that you would see at a normal restaurant. It serves lobster, clam chowder, and other seafood items. Another thing that you can get there is ice cream. One of the best things that you can get there are some of the sides. It serves a variety of drinks such as soda, beers, wine, and kids drinks for the littles to have. The restaurant is outside right near the ocean. So you have a great view of the ocean if you choose to sit outside. There is also inside seating for people that would like to sit inside, or if it is cold outside then you can sit inside. There are flowers outside and inside. For the seats outside there are umbrellas that you can put up or put down. The building looks like a little home with two stories. The only negative thing about the place is sometimes the light in the bathroom flickers and it goes out. The people that run the place are most likely going to be there. They have really nice waiters that are willing to fix mistakes that they may have made in your meal. They all work together to keep the business up and running without you having to wait a long time to get your food. That is because they know that you would like your food at a not a ton of wait time. I think that one of the reasons that it comes early to you is because they have all of the seafood and food ready to be cooked or served to somebody. It is also nice because all of your food will most likely come on a tray. That means that you can sit down at the table you would like, and then when the food is ready they will call your name and bring it to you. The quality of the lobster pound food would be a 9. That is because you may not like all of the ice cream flavors because it is very limited. But the quality of the actual food would be a 10 because it always comes out how you would like it. And if it doesn't then they will make it again so that it fits your needs. I would recommend this to a family because there is all kinds of food. Such as kids meals, food for all ages, and food for some adults. If you are going there with a big family and you are worried that the price will be high, there is no need. The prices are excellent and I would say that some of the food is very under priced for what it is. GREAT RESTAURANT OVERALL!!! -Miles Robertson read more

My favorite place to get lobster in Wells. Fresh and good prices. I get them cooked and cracked so I can easily use them for lobster rolls and pasta dishes while I'm in the area for the week. When headed home, they cook and pack them up- still warm when I get back to Boston. Friendly, knowledgeable employees. I get these to go but they have some great indoor and outdoor space for casual dining- and a parking lot. Great water views. Seafood and ice cream on the menu. read more

Please adjust your hours online for out of state visitors. Online says 8:30, but when we showed up at 7:35, person behind the register said you were closed. No problem. Next time we're in town, we'll call ahead and plan accordingly. Place was busy so has to be good. read more

Phenomenal restaurant and staff. There is indoor and outdoor seating with the water just feet away from the benches. We were able to order our food, sit down and relax a little bit before the food came out. The wait wasn't very long, but it allowed us to take in the beautiful weather! Clam Chowder was thick and flavorful. Fried whole belly clams are exactly what I was looking for. I hope to come back with the family on another trip to New England just for this restaurant. read more

What a meal! 2 years ago, on a rainy day, my mom & I stumbled on the Wells Beach Lobster Pound & stepped in for a cup of chowdah. It was so good, that we've drug our entire family back 2 years later to try again and my sakes, it's DELICIOUS! Possibly the best chowdah I've ever had, rich, creamy, well seasoned! We had steamers & a lobster as well, and each bite was delightful. This time, the line was a little longer & the place was packed, but we were happy as clams! read more

The very first thing we did when we arrived in Ogunquit...okay, AFTER finding the house where we'd be staying, watering the dogs, unpacking... was search for lobster rolls. Mid-October, the Lobster Pound closest to us was closed for the season, so we went exploring. Happily, and thanks to Google search, we found the Wells Beach Lobster Pound quoiite easily. In season, this is a restaurant with full menu, dine in and carry out. That day, however, all they had was lobsters...and lobster rolls, the grail we sought. On our way back to the house, we stopped at Spinnaker for fries and cole slaw. And discovered that lobster rolls were $4 more each there. In all, a serendipitous excursion. read more

Fresh, fast and delicious. Came here on vacation and got 4 medium lobsters for each of us and a pound of steamers. They cooked it all for us right there so all we had to do was come back to our Air bnb and enjoy! They also thoroughly answered our questions, as we were unfamiliar with the process. The lobsters were sweet and tender, and each lobster was incredibly meaty. The steamers were fantastic as well. The inside of the restaurant itself is very clean and well-kept. If we're ever in the area again, we will have to come back. read more

Fine. Nothing to write home about. A bit pricey. Some austere picnic tables out front. Great view of the ocean. Food was fresh. Service was friendly. I'm writing this more as a note to myself to not bother coming back since I'm now in Wells for the second year and read more

Amazing soup, the muscles were really nice, can't beat the scenery from the picnic tables.

Got the pick 2 with scallops and haddock subbed in onion rings. Also got a lobster roll. The fried scallops were the stand out favorite. The haddock was also good, and I would both again. The lobster roll was good, but at $30 for served cold with butter, it wasn't as good as others I've had around here. The lobster is wonderful quality and I think I'd try the lobster dinner if I came again. The view from the restaurant was perfect for a car picnic with a sleeping kid in the car. Probably would be 3 stars anywhere else, but the quality of the lobster and the scallops as well as the view are outstanding. read more
